The regiment was assigned to general J.T. Morgan's & W.W Allen's brigade. It participated in the battles of Lexington, Trenton, Jackson, Parker's cross roads & chickamauga, then was behind Enemy lines. After many hardships, he was captured on the skirmish line at big shanty, Ga on June 8, 1864 & confined at rock island, ILL. ON June 12, 1864. He was paroled from Rock island on March 1, 1865 & rejoined his unit to surrender at Appomattox court house. This southern cross of honor has a correct planchet, missing the correct bar, an unknown type bar engraved T.S McCalley with a red, white & Blue ribbon attached to a jump ring & a good planchet.
